Diamond Granny Blanket Pattern by Sew Hooky

Project Overview

The Diamond Granny Blanket Pattern is a beginner-friendly crochet design created by Sew Hooky that enables crafters to create a diamond motif within a rectangular blanket structure. This downloadable PDF pattern is ideal for those new to crochet who want to explore classic granny square techniques adapted into a cohesive blanket design featuring a central diamond element.

What You Will Create

This pattern produces a finished blanket measuring approximately 105cm x 120cm (approximately 41 inches x 47 inches). The design combines traditional granny square construction methods to form a rectangular blanket with a distinctive diamond shape as the focal point, making it an attractive home accessory or gift item.

Crochet Techniques and Construction

The Diamond Granny Blanket utilizes fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The pattern is built using granny square methodology, a classic crochet approach that involves creating repeating motifs that are joined together to form the larger blanket structure. This technique allows crafters to build confidence with basic stitches while creating a visually striking finished product with geometric interest.

• Hook: A 6mm/10/J crochet hook, sized appropriately for Aran weight yarn
• Additional Supplies: Scissors, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and optionally a pom pom maker for embellishment
